Ham Radio SECRETS: Setting Up A Station for Success

Contesting (also known as radiosport) is a competitive activity pursued by amateur radio operators. This is how I setup and run my station in the recent Remembrance Day contest - a 24 hour long contest that requires skill, endurance and patience amongst other things!
